1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Joining me in the studio right now is the Lord 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Mayor of Darwin convat Scarlets. 3 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 2: Good morning to UKNN, Good morning Katie, and it's a 4 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 2: beautiful weather. I can't believe actually where they build up, 5 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 2: and I can't believe there's still so many tourists in town. 6 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, there is plenty of tourists in town. 7 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: Well. And the other thing that actually, now you've mentioned it, 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: the other thing that I think is really interesting to 9 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: have quick discussion about is the backpackers around the place. 10 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: I've seen them parked up at East Point. Doesn't bother me, 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: doesn't concern me in any way, shape or form, but 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: it does make me realize that we need an RV 13 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: park somewhere, or we need somewhere for some of those 14 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: vans to be able to park and be able to 15 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: stay for a few days. 16 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 2: You better go and talk to the people who opposed it. 17 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 2: We put the proposal in place, some people didn't like it. Well, 18 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 2: other said to you before again it's good to have 19 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: tourists here, but they stay somewhere. Yes, there are caravan parks, 20 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: but one of them has converted now is converted to 21 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: a house in estate. So the number of sites being 22 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: limited that are quite a few around. Definitely we need 23 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: something for people to actually pack the car instead of 24 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: piking in the esplanodost point con. 25 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: I will move along because there's lots to discuss this morning. 26 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: I do want to just ask. 27 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: You about the alleged assault from the Chief Minister on 28 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: the weekend. The Nightcliff Markets are such a you know, 29 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: such a beautiful marketplace. Something like this happening is just 30 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: not on. 31 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely I've been to the Nightcliff Markets that I go 32 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: to Nightcliff Markets regularly as a private season before and 33 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: as an elected member when I was a member for 34 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 2: Casarina and now as the Lord Mayor. 35 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 4: Together with the Rapid Creek Markets. 36 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: One other thing I like in Darwin is actually politicians 37 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: of any kind with any color are going out like 38 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: normal people, sit down and have a coffee, and people 39 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: have the chance to sit down and talk to them, 40 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: and sometimes they bring some complaints. Sometimes they talk to 41 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: you for local issues. What happened on Sunday I think 42 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: it was totally unacceptable, and what really bugs me is 43 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: the attitude of the person that committed the assault, because 44 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: that's what is is assault. That it was a small error, 45 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: not apology, nothing current for a all of entitlement. I'm 46 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: sorry that person that you actually threw a piot and 47 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: hit in the eye, gave a black eye. She is 48 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: a public servant and she did her job. So now 49 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: if you got a court and you get a kick 50 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: up your ass, you deserve it. 51 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 4: You should take twice before you do something. 52 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: Does that worry you when something like that happens that 53 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: it could potentially open up other people like yourself. You're 54 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: in the public public eye. Something like that could happen. 55 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 2: Many years ago, when I was the Minister of Planning, 56 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: I received a death threat that somebody didn't like my 57 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: planning this year. You're going to get his gun and 58 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: come and get me. And I had to ring my 59 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: I was narly spring at the time, and I had 60 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: to ring my wife then and tended to go and 61 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: take the kids from the school because of the danger, 62 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: and the police had to patrol my house. 63 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 4: Where do we live? 64 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: I mean, this is really stupid. If you've got a problem, 65 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: go and see the person and talk to them. Natasha 66 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: and other politicians and Leah and everybody is either in 67 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: the nightcliff markets or the publers of mine to sit 68 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: down and tell them you've got to complain that action 69 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: is unacceptable. And if we accept on today, what are 70 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: we prepared to accept tomorrow? This is this is a 71 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 2: small things, start from small things and then escalates. 72 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: Well that's what I actually thought to myself yesterday when 73 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: people were sort of down applying this. What's to stop 74 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: you know somebody that's for an example, you know, anti 75 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: fracking turning up to a gas conference as we've seen recently, 76 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: and rather than protesting outside, you know, throwing something or 77 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: approaching or or you know, or being aggressive. 78 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and where do we stop. 79 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: You don't like the decision by the referee in an 80 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: AFL much, or we're going to beat up or the 81 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: teacher told your kid off and you tend to up 82 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: to score an abuse the teacher. No, that's not acceptable. 83 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: This is not the society I want to live. This 84 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: is not the side I want my kids to live, 85 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: and I bet you everybody who live up there, it's 86 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: not the society you want to live. 87 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: Con I want to move on because we discussed these 88 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: shes today. 89 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: The City of Darwin Council is going to move a 90 00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: motion to. 91 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: Support the guests campaign for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament 92 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: at its ordinary meeting today. It was put forward by 93 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: Counselor Morgan Ricard and if passed, it is going to 94 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: see campaign materials posted at libraries, swimming pools and community 95 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: centers with staffed don in T shirts and badgers in 96 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: the workplace. Con are you going to support the motion? 97 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: Let make clear first, it's not the City of down 98 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: And putting in the Motion's Council Ricard himself put that motion. 99 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: Every council has the ability and the right to bring 100 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: a motion to the Council if it complies with all 101 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: the procedures. 102 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: Now councl Recard will bring that one. 103 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: It has to be a decision by the majority of 104 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: the councilors to become then a council motion. 105 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: But are you going to support us? 106 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: My personal view is this is not the right forum, 107 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: not the right place or even the right time to 108 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: bring this kind of motion to counsole. We've got to 109 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: address local issues. This is a national issue. I let 110 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: the National Parliament and the people of Australia decide on 111 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: that one, not me. 112 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: It really doesn't sound like you're going to support. 113 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: It really bugs me when people telling me big companies 114 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: like Kwandas and newspaper tell me how to vote. That's 115 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: my right, my decision. I know how to vote. I 116 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 2: don't want you to tell me. And certainly it's not 117 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: up to the Council to tell people what to vote 118 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: want to do. I don't think it's the right place 119 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: in respect to what I think about the Voice, I 120 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: will vote not, and I believe that other councilors will 121 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 2: vote not because for the same reasons, not because we 122 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: don't like Voice or anything else, because we don't think 123 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: that council is the right forum to bring this kind. 124 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: Of motion in Well, that's that is the sentiment that 125 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: was being brought to us yesterday on the show, but 126 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: also over the course of the weekend. I had a 127 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: number of listeners get in contact with me about it. 128 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: So and Katie, this is not the role of the council, 129 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: but Connor, I question the timing as well. I mean, 130 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: it is just a few weeks out now, so what 131 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: difference would it really make. 132 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: Well, you have to ask Counsel Ricardo about that. For me, 133 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: he is entitled to bring the motion. He's a democratic council. 134 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: But again Casualy car wrote the letters, they're explaining why 135 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 2: and he said that we leave the Council with the 136 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: Ukraine flags and it was a political no, it was not. 137 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: Actually there was an invasion of one country, illegal invasion 138 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: against another one, and we socially dart to the people 139 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: that are actually invaded. This one is different. This is a 140 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: referredum in place that people are called to vote one 141 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 2: way or another. It has generated to a political shit fight, 142 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: people calling each other names. This is the last thing 143 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: we need at the moment. Now, council is not going 144 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: to get this debate. I will vote no, and I'm 145 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: pretty sure the councils will vote no. 146 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: Coln Mister Ricardo had pointed to the Council's strong relationships 147 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: with Larakia nation in putting that motion forward, do you 148 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: expect that that relationship will be impacted? I mean even 149 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: you saying that you are not going to support the 150 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: motion tonight. 151 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: We're not voting for the voice. We're not voting yes 152 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: to the voice or not to the voice. We're voting 153 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: about this voice. You're coming to the council now, Mister 154 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: Ricard says, yes, we do have very strong relation. 155 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely, we have a strong relation. 156 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: But at the same time, even in suther Larrakia, the 157 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 2: difference of opinion Helen secretary says she's going to vote 158 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: now said he's going to vote no. So it's not 159 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: a uniform position.
